Cleveland Cavaliers - Atlanta Hawks 107: 101

For most of the regular season the Cubs were in the top six in the East, but in the last line they were dragged to the playoffs and whoever is responsible for the bitter end for them is a well-known "hangman" in the league - Trey Young built a name for Killer in the playoffs last year. On the way to the series against the Miami Heat.

Young has scored 16 points in each of the last two quarters, finishing with 38 overall and dragging the Hawks to eighth place, overcoming the lack of chin Clint Capella - who will likely also miss the playoffs after injuring his knee tonight and needing help to get off the floor.

Atlanta trailed by 10 points at the break, but then Young's bombing began which also provided nine assists.

Bogdan Bogdanovic assisted him with 19 points from the bench, Danilo Glinari contributed 14 of his own.

Cleveland got back center Jarrett Allen, who missed the last 19 games due to a finger fracture, but the lack of experience on its roster is reflected in the game for an entire season.

Laurie Markanen led the Cavaliers with 26 points and 8 rebounds, Darius Garland scored 21 and added 9 assists and rookie Owen Mobley recorded 18 points.

In any case, the club and its fans can take comfort in the fact that the talented team under the guidance of JB Bickerstaff has achieved a surprising amount of victories this season, and with the addition of the lottery they will receive in the upcoming draft, the team's future is particularly promising.
